Jelly Belly Factory

This summer we went to visit Grandpa Marvin and Grandma Marcia. As one of the activities that we did together we went to was the Jelly Belly Factory. We were able to go on a tour and see how the jelly bellies are made and the history of the jelly belly. It was entertaining and the boys did pretty well during the tour.

We weren't able to take pictures inside the plant but here are the boys (with their jelly belly hat) outside next to the Jelly Belly van.

As a gift from the factory, each person got a bag of Jelly Bellies. The boys were in heaven and had a good time.

Luke's 8th Birthday

Luke turned eight. I can't believe it! I have a son who is 8 years old. That seems crazy to me. It seems like yesterday I was holding this little 7 pound boy in my arms at LDS hospital wondering what he would be like when he was 8 years old. Now that time is here and it is all very surreal.

He has been so excited for years to turn eight. He knows this is a big year for him. He is going to be baptized and go into 3rd grade.

For his birthday we took him on a date to a Japanese restaurant. He was in pure heaven. Watching food flying though the air and then land on his plate. It was a perfect day.

Here are a couple of pictures of Luke with his birthday cake.

Keep going Luke, you are almost there!

Luke we love you so much and are so proud of the young man you are becoming. Thank you for always bringing a smile to our faces and for the sweet spirit you possess.

Happy Birthday Luke!
